Players leaving really scrambled up our team. Senior QB left, and his backup to the NFL. Our senior HB left, and his backup also left to the NFL. Our top WR and TE, both sophomores left, leaving the offense with not too many answers. The O-Line is much better and our young receivers will improve, but our QB situation is a mess. All we have is 78 OVR Brian Henderson and the 2 guys we sign.

Defensively, we just didn't want to lose our DE to the NFL, and he left. We had lots of depth in the LBs/Secondary so we knew we could afford some guys to leave. But we only lost 1 corner and all our underclassmen LBs and safeties are back. So the 4-2-5 should be looking good for next year except for the weakness at D-End.

Projected Depth Chart (This year's ranking +5)
QB Henderson (83) Nothing special but our top option at QB.
HB Bailey (90) Signed as a JUCO soph. Power back at 247 lbs.
TE Singleton (90)
WR Love (99) Small receiver. Catches lots of passes

WR Jackson (86) 6'7" and had a pretty good RS freshman year.
WR Johnson (86) JUCO guy in his 2nd year at FSU

OL Vandermuelen (94)
OL Houston (94)
OL Roland (93)
OL Clark (91)
OL6 Fenner (90) Could play in run heavy situations, or if Ferwerda plays some defense, he'll see some time.

DE Curtis (86) 6'8", originally signed to be coverted to LB, but he'll stay as the #1 DE
DE Whitaker (84). Freshmen and our center Ferwerda will challenge him for playing time.
DT (2) - Horne (90), Allen (89), Hodge (88). Now juniors, These 3 have cycled in and out our as the 3 DT starters for 2 full years now.
LB/S/CB - Dickerson (96) Will move all over the field with his tackling ability and CB coverage skills.
LB/S - Murphy (96) Hard hitter
LB Burton (91) Good tackler and block shedder.
CB Moore (89). We're thin at CB so we may be playing LBs and safeties at this spot.
S Ward (99) Had a great year last year.
S Burley (98) Plays like a LB but has speed.
S Coley (98) Good balanced safety
S Cook (95) Lack in coverage ability, very fast.
